DISCLAIMER

This map shows all multilateral peace operations that were active as of September 2016. They are complemented with all ongoing UN political and peacebuilding missions, OSCE field operations, missions and operations conducted under the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), and multinational military operations authorized by the AU that are outside the scope of the definition of a multilateral peace operation applied by SIPRI (*). As a result, the information in the figures and graphs on this map may not correspond with figures featured in other SIPRI research or infographics.

The markers do not show the exact site of deployments or operation headquarters. The boundaries and names shown and the designations used in this map do not imply any endorsement or acceptance by SIPRI.
